What better way to spend the first blizzard of 2022 than with Smithereens directed by Susan Seidelman.

This movie has everything an aspiring influencer could dream of: vanlife, polaroid selfies, and stealing a stranger's toothbrush followed by double dipping in their peanut butter jar. 

We also promised a secret link to our own films.  Some of our work is presently on the indie film festival circuit (Berlin Independent Art Film Festival - check out Season 1 Episode 4 to learn more).  Here is a smattering of our film oeuvre from the last 15+ years.

Currently we are in post-production for the very first Zero Waste Feature Film, Citywide, which is due out in March!  Only 16 ounces of garbage was made over the course of almost 3 years while producing Citywide. Watch the trailer here!

We believe that movies should not come at the expense of the planet and so, since 2016, we have been making all of our films without generating any garbage. It is not easy, but it is essential. Demand sustainable art!
